The Biden administration is instituting a new requirement for major artificial intelligence developers to disclose safety test results to the US government.

Here are a few key points:

• The White House AI Council will review progress on this executive order, emphasizing the need for AI systems to meet safety standards before release.

• Although companies have committed to certain safety test categories, there's no common standard yet.

• The National Institute of Standards and Technology will develop a uniform framework for assessing safety.

• Nine federal agencies have conducted risk assessments regarding AI's impact on critical national infrastructure.
